The right joystick should also be omni-directional. I'll PM you about what controller you were using, etc... Thanks, both of you for the input!

Pretty fun game, didn't encounter any technical issues. I really liked the music and the arcade feel to it. The graphics were also good. I didn't get to try 2 player mode but I think that would be a lot of fun.
I did feel like the gameplay could be improved. Being able to pick up more weapons would be nice. I thought that the gamepad controls were hard to get used to with the second analog for aiming, I expected shooting to work in 8 directions. I switched to the keyboard and mouse since it was much easier to play that way. I also noticed enemies could get stuck in each other so you could walk around and gather them all in one spot then kill them.

Very fun game. My only complaint is that you can carry only one weapon at a time.
